</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">something about Flemish, this is still a precarious matter which can</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
provoke allergic reactions ;-) Actually I did not mean they didn't know</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Dutch, but that they didn't know standard Dutch very well. What I meant is
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">that they did not _use_ standard Dutch, but, as you wrote yourself, a</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
heavily coloured language. But I think not only by French but especially</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">by their own dialects as well. I was talking about the first half of the
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">last century, or do you think they did use standard Dutch in that period?</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">

<br>To my mind, this is highly exaggerated. Of course the Flemish continued to<br>use their dialects in everyday circumstances and in local surroudings. But<br>colonial public servants *did* know Dutch, be it that their language was
<br>considerably influenced by French.----------<br><br>Ingmar wrote:<br>I assume in that period, the first half of the last century, many Flemish<br>even didn't know standard Dutch very well themselves, what they spoke were
<br>their Brabant, West and East Flemish or Limburg dialects and a kind of<br>Dutch coloured heavily by those. French, however, was a clear and uniform<br>language. With all the prestige Flemish was lacking.<br></div><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
